| Summary | "A Man for the Ages: A Story of the Builders of Democracy" by Irving Bacheller is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the lives of individuals during the formative years of American democracy, with a central emphasis on the character of Abraham Lincoln and the events leading to his rise. The story unfolds through the experiences of the Traylor family as they journey westward in search of opportunity during the early 19th century. The opening of the novel introduces us to Samson Henry Traylor, his wife Sarah, and their two children as they embark on a pioneering journey through the Adirondack wilderness in 1831. They leave behind their familiar lives in Vermont, driven by the hope of discovering the "land of plenty" in the West. As they travel, they encounter various hardships and colorful characters, highlighting their resilience and determination. The novel blends adventure with a heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, encapsulated by Samson's joyful spirit and the challenges they face as they build a new life, all while foreshadowing the greater historical narrative intertwined with Lincoln's legacy.
